Live Island CamAfter sundown - images are not live!Stop the US Government from Destroying the Internet!Kill H.R. 3261 - The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)Many dismiss what's happening in China and chalk it up to their communist political system. That sort of thing should never happen in a free speech, rights for all republic like we have in the United States, right? 
But SOPA does just that. The goal of this bill is to "expand the ability of federal law enforcement to shut down foreign Web sites and services that host counterfeited or pirated content". What it really does is give the Government and Private Industry unprecedented power to censor what you view. It isolates citizens from any web sites it deems "deems supportive of media piracy and counterfeiting." Its a guilty until proven innocent law. Once accused of piracy, the owner whether foreign or domestic must appear in court to prove its innocence and remove the block placed on it by the government.
Of course, our government would never ever abuse such laws. Corporate entities, out after a buck would never frivously take advantage of the law. Not like they have a history of that, right? It's a shot across the bow of free speech and free communications on the internet. It's the Patriot Act internet style. Its at the very least a precedent setting foot in the door, setting into motion internet censorship in no uncertain way. If you are in based in the US, and against giving Big Brother and Greedy Corporate Interests (tm) this type of power over you, we urge that you to e-sign this petition to 'Stop the E-Parasite Act'. The initial goal was to get 25,000 signatures by the end of November, but as of this posting there are more than 50,000. Clearly this is a movement that is gaining momentum. No matter your opinion on internet piracy, this bill sacrifices too much much of your protection afforded to you by the Constitution, to boost the profits of media corporations and will never stop software and media piracy. Not only will it compromise the DNS system that is the backbone of the internet, but anyone that knows anything about the method it proposes, also know that it wull be completely ineffective. 
Sponsors of this bill: Reps Lamar Smith (R-Tex), John Conyers(D-Mich), Bob Goodlatte(R-Va) and Howard Berman (D-Calif). Support the Defeat of these candidates at the polls. They deserve to lose their seats in the next election for their support of free RIAA/MPIA money over your free speech rights! This is not a partisan issue. Its a constitutional rights issue. Show them you value free exchange of ideas with the rest of the world. Lamar Smith, ignoring the blackout and the protest, vows to reintroduce the bill he introduced last October and push through a markup hearing on the bill in February. Way to go, you hack! Updates!Did the Obama Administration already sell you out? Apparently Yes! And its worse than SOPA!See this response to this petition by the Obama Administration.
